故事发生在圣保罗的一家复古舞厅的夜晚，形形色色的人群在这里邂逅，调情，争吵，拥舞。伴随着音乐起舞的除了他们的身体，还有已经流逝的过去，五光十色的当下，以及不可知的未来。
In an old-time dance hall (the "gafieira") in Sao Paulo, one evening is all it takes to meet different characters as they remember the past, live the present, wonder about the future, have fun, flirt, fight and, naturally, dance.
Lais Bodanzky's second feature -- 7 years after her critical and box-office success "Bicho de Sete Cabecas" -- is a character study comedy influenced by Ettore Scola's and Robert Altman's ensemble pieces, especially Scola's "Le Bal" (1983) in its integration of music, dance and emotion, and "La Cena" (1998) as it also takes place in one single evening. Contrary to "Le Bal", though, what really matters here is the dialog, the faces and the characters; this is NOT a film about choreography or dancing skills.
